My Words Project

Before the wedding I was very concerned about the words I’d use for my vows. I expected to angst over it several times on this blog. Reality is, I didn’t have time to blog leading up to the wedding and most of the words for our ceremony came to me one night at 2:00 am…

I won’t lie. I had to look this one up. Loquacious: “liking to talk and talking smoothly and easily” per Merriam-Webster This is a hard word for me to identify with, while I can certainly talk, at length, about some topics I would never call it easy, and I’m usually afraid I start talking too…

Presumably when one owns their own domain name said domain name would have relevant content on it. Presumably one would be prepared to have their new co-workers see that site when welcomed to the company. Presumably if that isn’t the case you don’t care that much and you don’t sweat it. Yeah… right. That’s why…

via streetperspective.com though I’d appreciate original source info to credit. Perspective is an element that is going to come into play strongly in the novel I’m (kinda sorta working my way to working on.) Since we’re in a sci-fi/fantasy world my characters have limited knowledge of how the magic that they use day-to-day works. To…

Robin Hood Statue near Nottingham Castle I don’t refer to Wikipedia a lot, I realize that there’s a whole world of people out there who use it regularly, but it’s not my common practice. Integrity has been on my mind a lot recently, so I wanted to be sure that my internal definition matched a…

Murder isn’t actually in the list, thankfully. But it’s a word that I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around. It’s been an abstract term to me most of my life – it’s the plot for books, t.v. shows and movies. It is a horrible story in the newspaper. But it’s not something…

From the SmugMug gallery of ljn355 Spring and summer fever are here. With the ground here covered in snow this word sprang out at me. Of course, I imagine the seaside in summer, not in winter. I’m imagining sun-warmed sand under my feet, cool but not cold water tickling my toes as I stand at…

Together is a tricky word. It can be manipulative – “I thought we were going to do that together…” or it can be an invitation “I wondered if you wanted to go together…” It can also be an assumption or even taken as an inconvenience – that is until you realize that ‘together’ isn’t a…

Image Credit: CNN, and they apparently gotit from the White House. This is a little bit of a cop out in the Words project. I have to admit – I wasn’t sure when I would manage to properly address the word litigious, and I hope every power in the Universe keeps me from ever being…

It’s hard for me to believe that I’m currently on dogs number 3 & 4 in my life. I’m not going to say that makes me feel old. I have a thing for big dogs. Dogs that invariably contract cancer and leave me broken-hearted. And yet, I can’t imagine living without them. The intro image…
